How To Measure Windows And Enter Your Requirements In The Quote Wizard

Determine your preferred method of installation

Retrofit Installation

The existing window frame that is attached to the frame of the house and the interior casing trim is not removed. Only the existing operating or fixed section of the window is removed and the new window is installed into the existing frame opening.

Full Frame Replacement (Brick To Brick) Installation

The entire frame of the existing window including the interior casing trim is removed. The new window is installed directly to the wooden frame (studs) of the house and has attached interior wood or vinyl jamb extensions.

Insulation: Expanding foam insulation is inserted between the vinyl window frame and the frame of the house.

Interior Finish: Interior casing trim is available in a variety of vinyl or wood finishes.

Exterior Finish: Exterior vinyl brickmould is attached to the window frame to cover the gap between the window and the brick or siding. Caulking is applied to seal any tiny tolerance gaps between the brickmould and the exterior wall.

Please note that full frame replacement installation will be quoted with interior vinyl jamb extensions, vinyl casing trim and vinyl corner rosettes. If you require any other interior finish, please indicate your request in the comments section on the quotation request form.
